Chapter 22: Panic Rises
"It's ...... What's going on? ā
Chang Sheng suspected that he was dreaming, but after giving himself two hard slaps, he felt the burning pain in his cheeks, and he believed that it was not a dream, but a living reality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Just when he was panicking and didn't know what to do, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and just as he was about to raise his hand to touch it, his vision suddenly turned pitch black, and then there was a sound of objects falling to the ground in the dead cell.
Leng Yue lay on the bed, staring at the darkness above with her eyes open, listening with bated breath to the voices coming from the corridor outside.
Although the snoring was still there, he was sensitive to the fact that the snoring in several cells had suddenly disappeared, and the number was about 5.
Although he was sure in his heart that all of this was definitely related to the demon, he couldn't react in any way, because even if he got out of this cell now, he wouldn't have a chance of winning because of the frozen mana.
In the past, for those innocent victims in the incident, Leng Yue didn't want them to have anything to do with them from the bottom of her heart, and was anxious to solve the ghosts as soon as possible and give them a peaceful life.
But this time, he didn't have much feeling in his heart, after all, death is not exactly a bad thing for the people in this prison, it is much better than being tortured to death here.
While working during the day, he overheard a few prisoners who had not been in for a long time chatting, and they talked about the mortality rate of prisoners. Prisoner deaths are usually caused by a number of reasons, such as assault between prisoners, illness, punishment by prison guards, and suicide.
Suicide accounted for 60 percent of all dead prisoners, followed by prison guards, beating each other and getting sick.
On average, one person dies in prison every day.
And most of them are newcomers who have just come in, but those who have been here for more than one year rarely commit suicide unless they are seriously ill or have angered the prison guards.
Because those who can stay here for a year are undoubtedly able to adapt to the living environment here.
Leng Yue didn't understand why these prisoners who had lost their freedom, lost their direction, and even lost their principles were so eager to live, he couldn't figure out why, but in his mind, Xia Qi must know the reason.
Compared with the sleeplessness of the cold moon, Xia Qi is sleeping soundly, but sleeping well does not mean that he has slept well. All night, he had some garbled dreams.
Either dreaming that his grandfather was holding him and crying, or dreaming that his father was smoking with a sad face, and there were many strange people arguing in his house.
Although the dream is very chaotic, it feels very real, but when this dream wakes up, Xia Qi can't remember what those people in the dream have said at all.
Except for remembering his grandfather and his parents, he forgot what the other people looked like in his dreams.
The whistle of the assembly woke up the entire prison cell, and Xia Qi kneaded his temples with a headache, and then got out of bed in a daze.
went to the toilet and washed his face with cold water, and Xia Qi recovered some of his spirits.
Before the prison guards came to open the door, Xia Qi sat on the bed and looked at the honor sheet, and the time on it was still being consumed by second. However, compared to yesterday, there is more information on the dial today.
It shows where the reward is located, and how much it will be awarded this time.
Not ratings, but honor points. There are a total of 20 honor points, and looking at the location marked above, it should be in the area where the prison guards rest.
Although the reward had already appeared, he was not in a hurry to get over it, after all, the reward was there and he couldn't run, so he could wait until he recovered his ability or got the opportunity to get it.
But just as he was planning to do this in his heart, the numbers were also beating and changing below the reward, and it was obvious that the existence of this reward was also time-limited.
It's 15 hours in total.
"Grass, even the rewards have a time limit!"
Fifteen hours, although not too short, but even if it is extended to 20 hours, he and Leng Yue's abilities will not be restored.
Xia Qi's heart suddenly became irritable, and at this time, the prison guards also began to open the cells one by one, let the people locked in there out for breakfast, and then continued to work.
"What's the matter, boss, didn't you sleep well yesterday? Look at your face is very bad. ā
Seeing Xia Qi's dark face and not looking very cool, Wang Chang couldn't help but ask cautiously beside him.
"It's nothing, there were a lot of nightmares yesterday. By the way, do you know how many guards there are in this prison? ā
"More than 50, maybe more, but probably less than 100, because I've seen most of the prison guards."
Wang Chang replied matter-of-factly, he wanted to ask Xia Qi why he suddenly asked him this, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to ask, for fear that Xia Qi would teach him too many questions.
Just as Xia Qi was about to get out of the cell, he suddenly heard a prison guard shouting, and then, the soldiers with weapons suddenly became alert:
"Those who come out immediately go back to their respective cells!"
Xia Qi knew that something must have happened, because the prison guard had already opened the door before, so Xia Qi easily pushed it away, poked his head out and looked at the end, in the process, he saw Zhang Tou, who was also looking for him, saw him look over, and opened his head slowly to his mouth, as if telling him:
"Something's wrong."
Xia Qi nodded understandingly, then retracted his head and said to some prisoners in the cell who wanted to see the excitement:
"There's nothing to see, just go back and sit honestly, don't wait until the prison guards find trouble."
I thought that the prison guards would soon be able to settle the matter and let them go out to eat and work, but the wait ended up to be a full 2 hours. It wasn't until around 5 o'clock that the prison guards who had left before came back and let them out with ugly faces.
This time, the prison guards were no longer two or three, but eight or nine, and the number of soldiers was no longer two, but increased to five.
In this battle, even if several prisoners saw it for the first time, the prisoners were not stupid, and they all guessed that something big had happened in this prison, so that the prisoners began to wait for it.
After entering the cafeteria, Zhang Tou was stupid and Dabiao 6 prisoners, and found Xia Qi together, obviously, in persuading the other prisoners, Zhang Tou and the two of them achieved good results.
"What the hell is going on, have you found out?"
As soon as Zhang Tou and a few people sat down, Xia Qi asked immediately.
"There were 6 cells in total, and in one night, only 6 heads remained.
There were about 10 people in each cell, and 6 was 60 people, and 60 people disappeared in one night. ā
"Is there any movement from the prison guards?"
Xia Qi heard this number, and his heart was also very heavy, 60 people were missing that night, if it was changed to tonight, wouldn't it be even more, this is not a good phenomenon.
"The prison guards are still investigating the matter, and they have left behind the people in the cells that were close to the accident cell."
"Those people should have disappeared after 12 p.m., in a matter of minutes."
After listening to Zhang Tou's creepy words, Leng Yue added:
"I didn't hear any noises, no screams or anything." (To be continued.) )
